Lightkeeper Clarence

Split Rock Lighthouse, May 18: At Split Rock Lighthouse, the Minnesota Historical Society presents life at the lighthouse, circa 1925. Here Clarence, the lightkeeper, cranks a handle that raises the counterweights to keep the light turning for another two hours. At the site, you can roam freely and ask characters, including Clarence and his wife, questions about life at a remote lighthouse at about the time the "new international highway," now Minnesota 61, was put in place.
